Inspired by an areyoubeingserved link - Best Song's To "La-La-La/Ma-Ma-Ma/ETC" To?

[BadCoverVersion]

Thanking you areyoubeingserved (I tip me hat), the tres COOL LittleMixTapes site just made me wanna open a fab' thread...

So, basically ANY song's with 'La's' and 'Mmmm's' and 'Oh's' and 'Ma's'...and 'Der's' and 'Ra's' and ya catch my drift I'm sure!?

My favourite...

I Spy - Pulp (It's on the site MIX and it truly is a GEM!)

GOOD Runner's Up...

Beautiful Ones - Suede (CLASSIC 'La-La-La's')
She's a Lady - Pulp (For those who prefer 'Ma-Ma-Ma's')
Happy Hour - The Housemartins (Shucks, it sure is CATCHY!)
The Passenger - Iggy Pop (COMPULSIVE 'La-La-La-ing')
Pink Glove - Pulp (Get some 'Oh-Oh-Oh's' in there!)

CHEESY Runner's Up...

Only You - The Flying Picket's (Seriously, ya can't help yerself with 'Ba-Ra-Ra-Ra's')
Loving You - Minnie Riperton (Show me a woman who can stop herself, and I'll show ya a liar!)

Oh, and I MUST give a mention to Stevie Wonder's SIR DUKE...it doesn't EXACTLY qualify, but a healthy "Da-ra-ra-ra, dun-dun-der-ler-rer-da-la-la-la, den-den-den-ner-ner-der-ler-ler-den-ner" is ALWAYS on the cards when it comes on!

Better make that Kylie Minogue's Can't Get You Out of My Head. Na na na, na na na, na, na.

I've always found Pulp's I Spy's La la la-ing a little subversive to that song tradition, because on the actual song it's cut very short and it is a very catchy La la la-ing, so I'm always getting up to sing it and clap my hands but then it stops and Cocker's pervey whispers start up again and I look like a right twat.
